Ray, There's this "oddity" in the story to keep in mind: Berg, who was in Baghdad from late December to Feb. 1, returned to Iraq in March. He didn't find any work and planned again to return home on March 30, but his daily communications home stopped on March 24. He later told his parents he was jailed by Iraqi officials at a checkpoint in Mosul. ''He was arrested and held without due process,'' his father, Michael Berg, told the Daily Local News of West Chester recently. ''By the time he got out the whole area was inflamed with violence. The FBI on March 31 interviewed Berg's parents in West Chester. Jerri Williams, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia FBI office, told The Philadelphia Inquirer the agency had been ''asked to interview the parents regarding Mr. Berg's purpose in Iraq.'' On April 5, the Bergs filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, contending that their son was being held illegally by the U.S. military. The next day Berg was released. He told his parents he hadn't been mistreated. (ed...What independent verification is there that he was "released"? Where did his call to his parents originate from?) The Bergs last heard from their son April 9, when he said he would come home by way of Jordan, Turkey or Kuwait. But by then, hostilities in Iraq had escalated. Suzanne Berg on Tuesday said she was told her son's body would be transported to Kuwait and then to Dover, Del. She said the family had been trying for weeks to learn where their son was but that federal officials had not been helpful. Message 20118023

Curiouser and curiouser... I've had that same gut feeling myself. Genunie videos from the extremists have not been of particularly poor quality. This one is, as if to hinder analysis. I also don't know why they would brag that it is Abu Musab al-Zarqawi doing the cutting, but then he remains masked. His identity is already well known, if he were trying to make a statement this a pecular way to make it. It also doesn't fit the pattern of his previous actions and statements. I would be asking where Chalabi's men were that night. TP

Ray,there is something fishy about the high price of gas.We are being lied to about this also.Months ago,Opec said that they would maintain the price at 30 dollars/barrel.All that they do now is talk about raising production.In the mean time,there is all of this extra oil coming out of Iraq and I just read that there is an extra 100,000 barrels/day coming out of Russia.This production was not there 6 months ago.Maybe the Saudis are not as chummy with the Bushs as we are led to believe? My best guess is that the rest of the world including America, is helping to fund the war against America. Wouldn't that be something???
